By Sennoia Rubek

Book Overview

Chivalry, Slavery, and Young America is a book written by Sennoia Rubek and published in 1866. The book explores the relationship between chivalry, slavery, and the development of young America. Rubek argues that chivalry, a code of conduct that emphasizes honor, courage, and loyalty, was used to justify and perpetuate the institution of slavery in the United States. Rubek examines the role of chivalry in the antebellum South, where it was used to maintain the social hierarchy and justify the subjugation of African Americans. The book also explores the impact of chivalry on the development of young America, particularly in the context of the Civil War and Reconstruction. Through a combination of historical analysis and social commentary, Rubek offers a critical perspective on the role of chivalry in American society. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between cultural values, social norms, and political power. Overall, Chivalry, Slavery, and Young America is an important contribution to the study of American history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
